Wow! Can you please tell us a little bit about how you processed this and whether you print any of your 6x17 prints large? I love the panoramic format and the idea of making huge prints.

Thank you. I just started shooting 6 x 17 format very recently, maybe less than a month ago. So far, I shoot about seven rolls. I process these images by scanning two 6 x 9s in a Nikon 9000ED scanner then merge the two images in photoshop. I haven't print any yet but I plan to in the future, maybe with sizes about 20 x 60 (inch).

Also, love having a little OM body again. I spent years with one in the past and it was so familiar still. I love the way these handle and how small they are.
Jane Bown, one of the all-time great portrait photographers, shot Olympus OM-1s; she brought two of them with her (in a shopping bag) on her assignments, one with a 50mm lens and the other with an 85mm lens. I love her minimalist approach; there's a nice article about her here: https://www.anatomyfilms.com/jane-bown-65-years-with-olympus/
I like to imagine her showing up at Buckingham Palace to photograph Queen Elizabeth with her two cameras in a shopping bag.

Excellent article, thanks for linking.
The fact that she didn't use a light meter....
She perfected minimalist photography: same camera, same lens, same settings, same film, didn’t use the exposure meter, and never used flash.

She used the back of her hand like an incident light meter: she'd hold up her hand by her subject's face, look at the light on it, and judge exposure that way.
That kind of minimalism inspires me, although I'm a complete failure at it.
Her approach also reminds me of Jack LaLanne, the TV fitness guru of the 1960s, who died of pneumonia at age 96. His eating habits were amazingly minimalist and minimal, especially in light of his rigorous daily exercise routine. From his obituary in the NY Times:
At 60 he swam from Alcatraz Island to Fisherman’s Wharf handcuffed, shackled and towing a 1,000-pound boat. At 70, handcuffed and shackled again, he towed 70 boats, carrying a total of 70 people, a mile and a half through Long Beach Harbor.
He ate two meals a day and shunned snacks.
Breakfast, following his morning workout, usually included several hard-boiled egg whites, a cup of broth, oatmeal with soy milk and seasonal fruit. For dinner he took his wife, Elaine, to restaurants that knew what he wanted: a salad with raw vegetables and egg whites along with fish — often salmon — and a mixture of red and white wine. He sometimes allowed himself a roast turkey sandwich, but never a cup of coffee.

If I remember right , that was a 5k running event ( pretty small event ）hosted by a club or restaurant and most of the participants were half naked
Didn't see what exactly happen, that girl fell down during the race.
Always wanted to try the Vision3. Had meter this at Iso 800 and got developed in the ECN2 process with Safelight in Berlin. Unfortunately the MV seems to have lightleaks. Also, most of the shots are underexposed. So far I am not really sure of the additional hassle of finding an ECN2 lab is worth it. Lens could be either the 35mm F2 or the 28mm F2....

Looks great. Did you have them push in development or did you underexpose on purpose?
